Chapter 1126: 778 Mutual (Thanks for the tip!)_2

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone.

"Hello."

What was said on the other end was unknown.

You could only see the usually amiable leader’s complexion change abruptly, his eyes filled with shocked uncertainty, casting a glance at Jiang Chen.

"Just a moment."

He stood up, no longer bothering to bid Jiang Chen farewell, grabbed his mobile phone, briskly walked out of the office, and closed the door behind him.

Jiang Chen remained unaffected, calm and focused, continuing to write without distraction.

His handwriting was indeed quite beautiful, solid and composed, yet methodical—if one didn’t know better, they might think he was practicing his calligraphy.

A phone call shouldn’t take that long.

By the time over ten minutes had passed and the office door reopened, the leader was standing in the doorway, hand on the doorknob, the turmoil in his eyes indicating his emotions were still unsettled.

After a while, he forced a smile, closed the door, and walked in.

"Mr. Jiang, no need to write any further."

Jiang Chen looked up, "I haven’t finished yet."

"It’s okay, you can finish it back at home. I believe an entrepreneur with such a sense of social responsibility as Mr. Jiang will certainly not let the public down."

The leader’s smile was warm and friendly.

Jiang Chen fell silent for a moment.

"I’d still rather finish it. It was indeed my negligence for failing to play a supervisory and reminding role, which led to property losses for the players and caused trouble for the law enforcement departments."

Having said that, Jiang Chen did not accept the other party’s kindness, took a sip of tea, and started to write again, head bowed.

The amiable leader’s smile briefly stiffened.

————

When Jiang Chen regained his freedom and started breathing fresh air again, the outside sunset had lost its glow.

It was now past dinner time.

But he had not been left hungry.

Indeed.

Before he regained his freedom, he had actually had dinner at the leader’s establishment, ignoring their subtle hints to leave.

Three dishes and a soup, quite sumptuous.

At least much better than what he had eaten in the university canteen.

Jiang Chen, who achieved the rookie feat, walked out of the government building relaxed and nonchalant.

There was no line-up of luxury cars.

Nor was there a splashing of clean water for a street parade or a red carpet rolled out.

There wasn’t even a single person to greet him.

Jiang Chen breathed out gently, not feeling lost, walked to the roadside, and hailed a taxi.

"To Apang Palace."

The taxi started moving.

Jiang Chen pulled out his phone and dialed Luo Peng first.

"Jiang Chen, what are you doing? You don’t even come back for the annual meeting; is the company yours or mine?"

As soon as the call connected, the CEO, burdened with deep grievances, immediately started an endless litany of complaints.

"Why don’t you let Li Shuru talk to the university? After all, she’s about to graduate; it’s not much use staying at school, better to start at the company earlier. I really can’t manage it all on my own."

He must truly be busy.

"I just came out from a tea session."

Jiang Chen said simply.

"Tea? Man, you are really living the life. I only got a week off for the New Year, gosh, you deserve to die, no, you must give me a raise."

Since graduation, many people and things had changed, but the relationship between their roommates seemed to have remained the same.

"I was having tea with a police officer, envious?"

Jiang Chen joked.

The stream of words from the other end suddenly ceased.

"Having tea with uncle cops? What’s the situation?"

"You don’t know?"

Luo Peng was confused and asked back, "Know what?"

It seems they really came directly for him.

Catch the king before the bandits?

"Do you know about the current operation of the virtual love game?"

"What happened?"

Luo Peng grew more puzzled as he listened, "It’s doing really well; Zhang Guangyi and their team are already developing a new game."

As Tianci Capital grew, its investment operations expanded, and as CEO, it was natural not to focus solely on one game anymore.

Luo Peng’s understanding of the virtual love game was also limited to the regular financial reports.

"We’ve been reported; someone has been using the virtual love game to conduct fraudulent activities."

"How could that be!"

Luo Peng immediately denied: "Pure nonsense."

"Isn’t it true that some players meet someone of the opposite sex in the game and get defrauded of money?"

Luo Peng paused, "Are you talking about this?"

Then, he asked with surprise, "You weren’t invited for tea because of this, were you?"

It seemed that he wasn’t completely unaware.

At the same time, it also proved that this kind of situation did indeed exist.

"Why didn’t you tell me?"

"Why should I bother you with such trifles?"

Luo Peng’s attitude was dismissive, "Those who got fooled only have themselves to blame. They haven’t even met face to face and yet they make transfers, aren’t they the epitome of suckers? Jiang Chen, I was wrong before, you were definitely better than them in the past."

What a polite compliment.

"The police couldn’t have really contacted you over this, right? Isn’t that a joke? How can this fall on us? There are so many people committing telecommunication fraud, should the operators be responsible too? And those chat apps, which are also tools used by criminals, should they be investigated as well?"

Luo Peng ranted absurdly, not giving Jiang Chen a chance to interject.

"Don’t worry, I’ll have the legal department..."

"Alright."

Jiang Chen smiled helplessly, "No matter what, we indeed haven’t fulfilled our duty to give a warning. Tell Zhang Guangyi that we need to focus on this issue and implement necessary precautions. Also, compensate the victims."

"Compensation? Are you sure?"

Luo Peng quickly said, "Those people are just intellectually bankrupt; the money they got scammed off can be considered a recharge for their intellect."

"Most of the defrauded individuals are male, and you are a man too."

Jiang Chen spoke succinctly, knowing that Luo Peng pitied their misfortune but despised their lack of resistance, yet sometimes empathy wouldn’t hurt.

"Money is a minor issue. If being cheated leads to drastic actions and more severe consequences, what’s heavier and what’s lighter for us?"

Hearing this, Luo Peng found himself unable to argue.

"Moreover, when Miss Pei agreed to endorse our product, she gave us her full trust, we shouldn’t implicate her reputation."

Luo Peng sighed involuntarily.

"Fine, I got it. I’ll tell Zhang Guangyi to issue a notice, warning all players, but I feel like it might not be entirely preventable."

Wildfires cannot burn it all, the spring breeze will bring it back to life.

Just like Jiang Chen.

Returning to the right path, mending his ways.

But look, he’s switched camps, yet countless others have filled his void, flocking in one after another.

After listening to Luo Peng’s rambling for a while, Jiang Chen finally hung up the phone. If not for business, this guy would definitely be a talent in thought education.

After ending the call with Luo Peng, Jiang Chen dialed the second number.

"Are you out?"

Cao Jinse’s voice was filled with laughter, even a bit of schadenfreude.

"Yeah, where’s Luo Long?"

"I’ve sent him where he should go."

Cao Jinse simply replied, "You’re quite cunning. If it weren’t for your decoy tactic, he might have ended up in Fang Jun’s hands."

Jiang Chen didn’t expect her to be so decisive; he had thought she would wait for his release and hand Luo Long over to him.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Sorry for the trouble."

"They say that place educates people; seems like it’s true. You’ve become more polite."

Cao Jinse’s words were teasing but sincere.

"Inside, it’s indeed not bad. Everyone is very welcoming and speaks pleasantly. I actually wouldn’t mind staying there a few more days."

"Thinking you can just ignore everything by being inside, huh? Wishful thinking."

After the joke, Cao Jinse’s tone became serious, "Luo Long has been taken away."

Jiang Chen’s brow twitched.

So soon?

It seems that in some respects, his estimation was not entirely accurate.

Like the woman on the other end of the phone.

Despite her playful demeanor with him, being so young and occupying such a high position, controlling a massive business empire and vast amounts of wealth, her capabilities and disposition were probably on par with the daunting Lan Peizhi.

Such people, if they don’t turn on you, once they do, it’s with thunderous might.

"Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard."

Jiang Chen finally spoke after the silence.

"In my life’s creed, I think I should add one more thing."

"What?"

"Don’t ever cross you."

Cao Jinse laughed softly, then said playfully yet earnestly.

"Same goes for you."
